"But... but... Monster Hunter has lost it's relevance..."

I wonder what will happen when they release the weekly sales. 500k hardware sales, maybe?



its hardware sales should be 200k-300k, the stupid article made it seem like it was 400k but it meant it needs 400k to surpass Wii lifetime sales!


Thanks for the clarification. I guess I didn't read that part well enough...

No 3DS sould out? Ima disapointed...



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

True, you'd think it would be easier. But unlike on other sites, people just throw news into their own thread as opposed to actually trying to create a community which discusses games in larger threads, kinda like the PSVita thread.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Damn. I have a feeling theres' a significant gap between Denpa Men and Animal Crossing on the eShop, but if MH4 surpasses Animal Crossing just a few days after launch... I mean, that's gotta be almost a million. Maybe over a million. A million digital sales in its first couple of weeks? In addition to (most likely) selling out physically? ....I would be astonished.

(According to this Polygon article analyzing Nintendo's April financial report, Animal Crossing: New Leaf had sold roughly 965k copies digitally by the end of April.)

EDIT: Iwata confirmed in June that Animal Crossing had exceeded 4 million sales (shipments+digital) in Japan. Assuming it maintained its roughly 25% digital ratio, that's over a million. This isn't confirmed, of course, but seems very likely. So it's safe to say that when Monster Hunter passes Animal Crossing on the eShop, it has sold over a million digitally.

This holiday season, the 2DS & 3DS will be on fire. I knew Monster Hunter 4 was going to do it's numbers. Pokémon X & Y is going to send them handhelds rocketing.
